James Russell is a first-time children’s book author. He figures if he's going to write one, he may as well write three or four (oh yes, that's right --- there's a chapter book coming, called THE DRAGON DEFENDERS! He has 12 years in the newspaper business, both as an editor and a journalist/columnist. Now he's a full time writer of books! On the weekends --- and by night --- he is a father to two young boys whose insatiable demand for a new story both morning and night is the inspiration behind The Dragon Brothers Trilogy and THE DRAGON DEFENDERS..
